I partitioned my hd and set aside a cute lil 10 gigs to mess around with BT2, and of course I didn't overwrite my windows xp partition. I can still see it there under /mnt/sda1 with all of its pertinent files untouched. Also, I still see the mbr.ini, boot.ini, ntdetect.com, and all that jazz under the sda3.

However, on regular good ol' bootup, system jumps straight into BT2.. I guess I figured a menu would pop up and give me a choice as to which os I wanted to load but now I guess not...

BT2 is installed under sda2, and during install, I opted for the choice of sda for the other thing (ha I forget what it is now - the boot loader I'm assuming).. Anyway, none of it is really a problem if I can boot into windows through BT2. Unfortunately, I'm too much of a noob at this point to know either way...

Any ideas??? :confused:

I think we should start a area on the wiki with sample files for ...
lilo
fstab
xorgconfig
kismet
and all the other ones so we have something to reference to when people ask.

I think the problem is he created a 'cute' partition. Obviously this is not the correct partition type.

When you will boot into BT2 do the following steps:-
open the terminal window and type
nano /etc/lilo.conf
